How did he win this adventurous race for riches and glory during the Age of Discovery? Join da Gama and his crew on their amazing voyage to India, which forever changed history, brought to life through dramatic reenactments and expert interviews. From its early planning phases through the horrific voyage home to Portugal, da Gama’s quest unfolds in lavish detail. Vasco da Gama opened a new chapter in the history of relations between the Orient and the Occident and that remains his legacy today. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"Using dramatizations interspersed with brief interviews with experts, and helped by excerpts from a journal kept by one of the crew, the story of da Gama’s expedition is told in compelling fashion."- School Library Journal (Oct 2004)
